Soundtrack 2014: The Year That Went By Too Fast

An annual end of year tradition for me is to create a playlist, or soundtrack if you will, describing my life over the course of the past year using songs I discovered within that time frame.Here is the Soundtrack to 2014 . . . click here for the playlist on Spotify or YouTube(Never has a year of my life gone by so quickly. I spent the year hosting and attending fabulous events, exploring and loving the city I live in more than I thought possible, and entering a new decade of life. More than ever this year taught me that the older we get, the happier we are, the faster it all goes by - running 5K's became my way of slowing life down a bit, disconnecting to reconnect, and enjoying the healthy young body God has blessed me with. I can barely remember the new songs I discovered, but here are a few that stood out the most!)Opening Credits – "Dado Farm" by Unheard OfWaking Up – "Deckchairs on the Moon" by Bipolar SunshineAverage Day – "Home By Now" by Bombay Bicycle ClubGoodbye 20's, Hello 30's– "King and Cross" by ÁsgeirFlirting – "What Would It Be Like?" by Sara Hallie RichardsonFirst Date – "XO" by BeyoncéFalling in Love – "A Little Lost" by Sufjan StevensSeduction Scene – "Take Me To Church" by HozierLove Scene – "Life Round Here" by James BlakeFight Scene – "Begging For Thread" by BANKSBreaking Up – "Stay High" by Tove LoGetting Back Together – "Stay With Me" by Sam SmithSecret Love – "Untitled #3" by Sayde PriceLife’s Okay – "6 Words" by Wretch 32Driving Fast – "Summer" by Calvin HarrisDriving at Night - "Fall In Love" by PhantogramOh, She Works - "NEW DORP.
